Spectators: 144 (Terracing: 109, Seating: 33, VIP seats: 2) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when David Alvarenga took the kick off in the first half of the match. A collision led to Zandarin FC getting a freekick after 7 minutes play. Zézinho Azevedo hit a great ball. Gabriel da Rocha recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 10th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. After 18 minutes, Gabriel da Rocha made it 0-1 with a short kick to the right side. Zandarin FC's Raphael de Queiroz tried to save the shot but he was too slow in reacting to the shot. If Gabriel da Rocha had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 21st minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. The crowd rose to their feet as David Alvarenga kicked a wonderful shot that went in to the left of a diving Andrézinho Valladares. That made the score 1-1 in the 27 minute of play. 30 minutes into the match, Bandeirinha AD's goalkeeper Andrézinho Valladares had to clear away a ball on his right side after a cunning shot by Ernani Brito. Raphael de Queiroz made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Gabriel da Rocha in the 34th minute of play. Ramiro Coutinho fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 37th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Raphael de Queiroz having to interfere. If Ramiro Coutinho had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 43rd minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. When Gabriel da Rocha came up free with the goalie in the 45th minute, the Bandeirinha AD fans jumped to their feet. But the shot missed the goal by a fraction of an inch, and the fans sat back down disappointed that Gabriel da Rocha couldn't finish the play. Raphael de Queiroz took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Gabriel da Rocha, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. The first half was very even, with the score at 1-1 when the whistle went for half-time. The players welcomed the break and quickly retired to the dressing rooms.

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Ramiro Coutinho made a kick off. After having played for 56 minutes, Gabriel da Rocha managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Bandeirinha AD's supporters crossed their fingers, but Gabriel da Rocha was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. 2-1 became the score in the 64th minute when David Alvarenga elegantly shot the ball into goal just under the crossbar. Andrézinho Valladares came out of the goal in the 68th minute to try and stop a shot by Zandarin FC's Ernani Brito. But to his dismay, Ernani Brito quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 3-1. After 75 minutes, Luís Guilherme Ortiz mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Zandarin FC and the Bandeirinha AD players grew even worse after the yellow card. In the 78th minute Ramiro Coutinho shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Raphael de Queiroz saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Ernani Brito recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 82nd minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. Andrézinho Valladares didn't have a chance when a screaming shot from Ernani Brito went, in the 87th minute, to the upper right corner, 4-1 was the resulting score. Washington Valadares made in the 91st minute of the game a sloppy throw-in which Gabriel da Rocha however managed to control. 96 minutes into the game, Ramiro Coutinho cracked a shot to the right of the goalkeeper, 4-2. Raphael de Queiroz was not in position, and could only watch the ball fly in. Bandeirinha AD's supporters were dissatisfied at the end of the match because Zandarin FC had won, even though Bandeirinha AD had held more of the ball.
